Hadronic vacuum polarization and light-by-light scattering in representative infrared-improved soft-wall holographic QCD models
We investigate the hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $$a_\mu $$ in three representative infrared-improved soft-wall anti-de Sitter (AdS)/quantum chromodynamics (QCD) models, focusing on the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization (LO-HVP) and hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) contributions. The model parameters are fixed by the ground-state $$\rho $$ -meson mass, pion mass, and pion decay constant, with the low-lying excited spectrum used as an additional phenomenological constraint. We find that the LO-HVP contribution remains below dispersive determinations, mainly because the $$\rho $$ -meson decay constant is underestimated. In the HLbL sector, the standard Chern–Simons term gives well-defined ground-state pseudoscalar-pole contributions but leads to divergent excited-state sums in soft-wall models. We therefore also adopt a scalar-extended Chern–Simons term motivated by brane–antibrane construction, which provides infrared suppression and allows finite estimates for pseudoscalar excitations and axial-vector mesons. The resulting HLbL predictions are internally convergent but still quantitatively model-dependent, showing that further refinement of the infrared completion and short-distance constraints is required.- 3 November 2026

Study of transition form factors of the lightest pseudoscalars
In this paper, we study the transition form factors (TFFs) of the lightest pseudoscalar mesons, π 0 , η , and η ′ , within the framework of resonance chiral theory. Our analysis is performed based on the data of time-like and space-like singly-virtual and space-like doubly-virtual form factors, as well as the relevant cross sections and latest invariant mass spectra of e + e − pair for the process of P → γ e + e − . The TFFs of these pseudoscalars are obtained. Also, we evaluate their contributions to the light-by-light part of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Our two fits give similar results, where the better fit (Fit-A) gives a μ π 0 = ( 61.6 ± 1.8 ) × 10 − 11 , a μ η = ( 15.2 ± 1.7 ) × 10 − 11 , a μ η ′ = ( 16.0 ± 1.2 ) × 10 − 11 , and the total contribution of neutral pseudoscalar meson poles is a μ π 0 + η + η ′ = ( 92.8 ± 2.9 ) × 10 − 11 .

Measurement of CP asymmetries in $ {\overline{B}}^0\to {D}_s^{-}{D}^{+} $ and $ {\overline{B}}_s^0\to {D}_s^{-}{D}^{-} $ decaysA bstract: Measurements of the combined CP asymmetries in $$ {\overline{B}}^0\to {D}_s^{-}{D}^{+} $$ and $$ {\overline{B}}_s^0\to {D}_s^{-}{D}^{-} $$ decays are made using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb − 1 . The measurements are found to be $$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{l}{A}_{CP}\left({\overline{B}}^0\to {D}_s^{-}{D}^{+}\right)=0.0009\pm 0.0053\pm 0.0040,\\ {}{A}_{CP}\left({\overline{B}}_s^0\to {D}_s^{-}{D}^{-}\right)=0.103\pm 0.053\pm 0.010,\end{array}} $$ where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This is the first measurement of this asymmetry in $$ {\overline{B}}_s^0 $$ decays, and the most precise measurement to date for $$ {\overline{B}}^0 $$ decays. Both measurements are found to be consistent with CP symmetry.- 6 August 2026

Machine learning techniques for jet reconstruction at LHCb and application to the search for $ H\to b\overline{b} $ and $ H\to c\overline{c} $ in $ \sqrt{s}=13 $ TeV pp collisionsA bstract: Two machine learning techniques for jet measurements at the LHCb experiment are presented: a regression-based method for jet-energy calibration and a deep neural network algorithm for jet flavour tagging, distinguishing between b -quark, c -quark, and light parton jets. These techniques are applied to a search for inclusive $$ H\to b\overline{b} $$ and $$ H\to c\overline{c} $$ decays using a LHCb dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.6 fb − 1 . The observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limits correspond to 6.6 (11.1) times the SM cross-section for the $$ H\to b\overline{b} $$ process, and 1003 (1834) times the SM cross-section for the $$ H\to c\overline{c} $$ process.- 29 July 2026

Amplitude analysis of $B^0 \rightarrow \eta _c(1S) K^+ \pi ^- $ decaysAn amplitude analysis of the $${{{B} ^0} \!\rightarrow {\eta _{c}} (1S) {{K} ^+} {{\pi } ^-}} $$ decays with $${\eta _{c}} (1S) \rightarrow {p} {\overline{{p}}} $$ is performed using a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 $$\,\text {fb} ^{-1}$$ of $$p $$ $$p $$ collision data collected by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 7, 8 and 13 $$\,\text {Te\hspace{-1.00006pt}V}$$ . The data are described with a model including only intermediate contributions from known $${K} ^{*0}$$ resonances. Evidence for an exotic resonance in the $${\eta _{c}} (1S) {{\pi } ^-} $$ system, reported in a previous analysis of this decay channel, is not confirmed. The inclusive branching fraction of the $${{B} ^0} \rightarrow {\eta _{c}} (1S) {{K} ^+} {{\pi } ^-} $$ decays is measured to be $$\begin{aligned}&\mathcal {B}({{B} ^0} \rightarrow {\eta _{c}} (1S) {{K} ^+} {{\pi } ^-}) \\&\quad = (5.82 \pm 0.20 \pm 0.23 \pm 0.55) \times 10^{-4}, \end{aligned}$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third arises from the limited knowledge of external branching fractions.- 18 May 2026

Search for lepton-number-violating B − → D ( * ) + μ − μ − decays
A search is performed for lepton-number-violating B − → D ( * ) + μ − μ − decays, using data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb − 1 . No significant signal is observed, and upper limits are set on the branching fractions, B ( B − → D + μ − μ − ) < 4.6 × 10 − 8 and B ( B − → D * + μ − μ − ) < 5.9 × 10 − 8 , at the 95% confidence level.

Differential decay rate of B+ → J/ψK+ with the LHCb Upgrade I experiment
A bstract: The normalised decay rate of B + → J/ψ (→ μ + μ − ) K + is measured as a function of the lepton helicity angle using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 . 1 fb − 1 collected during October 2024 with the upgraded (Upgrade I) LHCb detector. This angular distribution can be parameterised by two coefficients, the forward-backward asymmetry, A FB , and the flatness parameter, F H , whose values are constrained by conservation of angular momentum. These coefficients are measured both integrated and differentially across various kinematic and detector-response variables, and the results are found to be in good agreement with expectations. These measurements show that the detector response of the LHCb Upgrade I experiment is understood to the precision required to reliably extract the angular coefficients associated with rare b → sμ + μ − and b → dμ + μ − transitions, which are particularly sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model.

Branching fraction measurement of the $ \Lambda \to p{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu } $ decayA bstract: A measurement of the branching fraction for the decay $$ \Lambda \to p{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu } $$ is presented using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The analysis is based on data recorded between 2016 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb − 1 . The result is obtained using Λ → pμ − decays as a normalisation channel. The measured branching fraction is $$ \mathcal{B}\left(\Lambda \to p{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu}\right)=\left(1.462\pm 0.016\pm 0.100\pm 0.011\right)\times {10}^{-4} $$ , where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the normalisation mode branching fraction, respectively. This result improves the precision of the branching fraction measurement by a factor of two compared to the previous best measurement and sets a more stringent bound on lepton flavour universality in s → u quark transitions. It is consistent with previous measurements, and the extracted lepton flavour universality test observable, $$ {R}^{\mu e}=\frac{\Gamma \left(\Lambda \to p{\mu}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_{\mu}\right)}{\Gamma \left(\Lambda \to p{e}^{-}{\overline{\nu}}_e\right)}=0.175\pm 0.012 $$ , agrees with the Standard Model prediction.- 14 April 2026
